Opis

Muslim Women and White Femininity: Reenactment and Resistance explores how Whiteness travels through Muslim women's bodies, who in turn reenact or resist White womanhood by examining three relevant archetypes: the Oppressed, the Advocate, and the Humanitarian Leader.

Recenzje

"This book is a timely and important contribution to the emerging body of scholarship on Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) communication studies. Theoretically grounded and methodologically rich, Ghabra provides a complex analysis of a range of popular cultural texts about Muslim women and offers an intersectional feminist ethic that is full of resistive potential and collective hope. I highly recommend it." -Gust Yep, Professor of Communication Studies, San Francisco State University
